Germany’s Klimanachrichten reports on the recent phenomenon of extreme negative electricity prices on the European power exchange, specifically highlighting the role of solar energy (photovoltaics) in this development. Oversupplying the power grid leads to negative prices, ineffciency. Symbol image generated by Grok AI. Being weather-dependent, it’s become almost impossible to match supply to demand. Sometimes […]

“The results indicate that extremes in heat-related metrics for daily T [Max] in the summer have not increased and in fact often show modest declines since 1899, due mostly to the early heat events during 1925-1954.” – Christy, 2026 The contiguous United States (CONUS) has the most reliable and comprehensive long-term daily maximum and minimum […]

A new comprehensive study on the effect of temperature extremes on human mortality shows that cold is far more lethal than heat. Heat is healthier, researchers find. Symbol image generated by Grok There’s one conclusion that can be drawn from this: the recent, mostly natural warming is saving lives. The recent study reported by ScienceDaily […]

Science takes a back seat…the climate debate is politically and financially driven The latest video by the Germany-based European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) discusses a column by science ‘Welt’ journalist Axel Bojanowski. The core argument made by Bojanowski is that the public climate debate is more often driven by political and financial interests […]

The climate sensitivity to a doubling of CO2 with feedbacks may only be about 1°C, with humans contributing just 30% to the global warming since 1850. New research indicates the climate models that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) rely upon for policy-making – and to claim humans are 100% responsible for the warming […]

An article in the German TKP science site titled “Die Malediven sinken nicht” (The Maldives are not sinking) challenges the common mythical narrative that the Maldives are destined to disappear due to rising sea levels caused by climate change. Image taken by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) onboard NASA’s Terra satellite. […]

Abrupt climate change also occurred naturally in the past The following video from the “Klimaschau” series (No. 256), published by the European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE), addresses the question of whether abrupt climate changes in the past were natural or man-made. Image cropped here. The claim of an unprecedented speed of climate change […]

Fuerteventura, one of the eight major Canary Islands, was not the “desert in the ocean” it is today throughout the Early to Middle Holocene. Scientists (Sánchez-Marco et al., 2026) have recovered the remains of several bird species known to reside at the edges of bodies of water (e.g., lagoons, lakes, rivers) with riparian vegetation and […]

The drivers of warming and glacier retreat in Antarctic climates are not aligned with a linearly-rising trend of atmospheric CO2. Scientists (Park et al., 2026) have assessed that over the last four decades the patterns of air temperature, sea surface temperature, and glacier retreat near King George Island (just north of the northernmost tip of […]

Growing climate skepticism in Europe… An inconvenient tree found in the Alps shows climate was warmer 6000 years ago. A recent video from the German language channel Report24news features Dr. Johannes Steiner, who discusses the discovery of ancient biological material (a large tree log) under retreating glaciers and its implications for the current climate narrative.
